| Popis: | The authors describe a case of a 14-year-old male child presenting with massive anterior epistaxis on a background of recurrent episodes of epistaxis. Immediate management constituted anterior nasal packing. Endoscopic nasal examination revealed a 5 mm purple vascular lesion anterior to the right-middle turbinate. The initial working diagnosis of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma which is most common in this population was excluded following MRI. The lesion was excised via an endoscopic approach with no complications. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of lobular capillary haemangioma. The patient made an uneventful recovery and remains on follow-up with no recurrence. |
